In late 2020, US Consulate Karachi and Seeds of peace initiated a program by the name of KDKP 2021, Kitnay Duur Kitnay Pass. 42 filmmakers came together virtually. 21 filmmakers from India and 21 from Pakistan, created eight short-films collaboration with their corresponding team members across the border under the mentorship of Haya Fatima Iqb from Pakistan, Sankalp Meshram from India and Marcus form USA. The films shared the themes of culture, history, and tradition. I was selected from Pakistan as one of the film makers.
